About Me:
My husband, two kids, and I have taken care of a crew of four egg-layers on our smallish suburban plot for nine months now, and we'd like to learn how to develop a more self-sustaining system on our property. I am currently learning about growing edible green goodies for us and our chickens and hope to transform our home into an edible forest of sorts.
